ASSESSMENTS & REPORTS
Brisbane, Whitsundays & Telehealth
Alongside Developmental Education and Behaviour Support services, Montrose Hills Therapy provides comprehensive assessments and reports to support understanding, planning, and decision-making.
Assessments provide an evidence base to better understand a person's strengths, functional abilities, support needs, and areas where additional supports may assist.
Assessments may involve direct assessment, observation across environments, consultation with the person, family members, carers, and other support providers, followed by detailed analysis and report writing.
Assessments and reports can support
-
NDIS planning and funding decisions.
-
Plan reviews and change of circumstances.
-
Understanding functional capacity and support needs.
-
Developing personalised recommendations and strategies.
-
Supporting ongoing therapy and capacity-building goals.

FCAs provide insight into a person's strengths, support needs, and areas where capacity building or additional supports may be beneficial.
